Ah, I see. I just downloaded the USPSA rules; we don't have Limited or Limited 10 internationally - instead we have the following Divisions: Open (minor & major) Standard (minor & major) Modified (which, it was decided at the General Assembly this weekend, will be no more as of 2012) Production...

With the M&P 40 he wouldn't be confined to just shooting Production though, would he? He could compete as Standard+ as well (which I do with my XD40, but as is obvious from another thread here I'm looking into shooting Standard- with a M&P 9L or 9Pro). Or is this an area where USPSA rules differ...

SureFire X300 is probably the best there is. But they are priced that way too. Of course, I have an old Streamlight at home, which was (back in '01) a pretty ok light. It'll still do.

Regarding tritium sights; pretty much all manufacturers use tritium from the same source: Trijicon. However, Trijicon make various qualities of inserts, and from my experience Meprolight tend to use the weakest (and shortest lived) inserts for their sights. However, they compensate by using...

Tsquared, thank you for the clarification. I'm leaning towards the Pro as it makes sense to get the extras for the same price as a 9L - especially if there's no downside to the Pro compared to the 9L.

Don't all firearms shoot to point of impact regardless of sights though? ;) All joking aside; at what distance?

I might swap the rear sight, but then most likely to the 10-8 Performance sight. Please note that the 9L and 9Pro are priced the same here. That sight is just a mere $40; adding an Apex trigger is another $95 though. Is the Apex trigger worth it compared to the 9Pro trigger?

I've only had a chance to fondle the 9L as of yet, so I don't know how I'll like the fiber front sight of the Pro. New sights are easier to get than trigger parts though, so if the factory trigger job on the Pro-series is good enough then that would a definate check mark in the column for the...

Hi all, I'm contemplating getting a M&P for IPSC (I currently use a first-generation XD40, but I want a 9x19). Currently S&W doesn't have active representation here in Sweden - the company that just took over won't get their first batch until november, and even then I do not know how many M&P:s...

I would caution you against the Serpa has it has some serious issues. These videos show some of them: Blackhawk SERPA Button Issue - YouTube ArticlePlayer

Smith & Wesson won't send out factory letters outside CONUS

Which is a no-go for us foreign fans.

Regarding the 27 above, what would have been the correct grips for it (as delivered from the factory)? The guy I bought it from said it had ill-fitting (no doubt!) K-frame grips when he bought it.

Here's the pics I promised of my 27 "No Dash". There are three details that smudges the glory: 1) The front sight has a small ding to it (which I think I can knock out ever so gently); 2) Someone who didn't know how to do it properly has pried loose the side plate; and 3) The original grips are...

Today I picked up my second S&W revolver (first being a Model 25 that I picked up this past winter) - this time I got a Model 27 "no dash" with serial number S1919XX. Set me back $730, but I'd say it's well worth it... Damn that is a deep blue... ;) Better pics to come - these are from the...

Based on this thread I ordered a used copy of "The History of Smith & Wesson" (7th printing) from Northwest Media (on Amazon.com) on March 8 and it arrived today (that's 9 days from WA to Sweden - pretty damn zippy if you ask me!). Though the dustcover is slightly ripped (which I knew from the...

Very nice hardware - now I only wish Mr. Bowen would make sights for Square Tang Smiths...

Hmmm, maybe I should clean my Model of 1955 tonight - haven't shot it since the last time, but why not... ;)

In the line of trivia (since we already mentioned Robert Johnson's blues song) - the ill-fated Jimmy Blevins in Cormac McCarthy's "All The Pretty Horses" carried a .32-20 revolver with "worn gutta-percha grips". ;)

This has been a terrific read. To date I've only held one RM... Then again, being in Sweden that is to be expected... :( Also, now I'm thinking about getting a Threepersons from El Paso Saddlery... ;)
